Mrs. Clara f. Howe has been elected
to the School Committee in Gardner,
Mass, by the largest vote ever cast for
school committee in that town. She had
served for two years and half, and dis
charged the duties so acceptably that there
was general wish to re-elect her for
full term of three years. Even boys went
to the town meeting and asked for ballots
bearing her name, that they might distrib
ute them at the polls. And yet some peo-
pie still think that the foundations of So
ciety would be overturned if women were

Brother Gardner on Late Member.

1T am my painful dooty to inform dis
club dat Brudder Augustus Jenkins has
passed from airth away" said Brother
Gardner when the triangle had ceased to
toll. He was an honorary member of dis
club libin in de stait oh North Caaroliny,
an he was only Is cents behind in his dues.
1t kin not be said OBJ Augustus dat he was
either a statesman, poet, philosopher, phil
anthropist or scholar. He was simply an
ebery day man, who did not shrink end
wise when he got wet.
As citizen of the United Stats he did
not 90 beggin' aroun about our bein' de
greatest nashum on ,airth, but he had a
hickory club laid away fur any country
which might knock the chip off our shout
der.
As an elector he went to de polls ebery
time dar was chance to vote, an some
times when dar wasn't, an if he split his
ticket it was bekase he was deeply inter-
ested in de matter of honest guv'ment.
As laborer he was worthy OBJ his hire.
When he wasn't workin' he was thinkin
fur de benefit OBJ his boss. If de boss
didn't know dis it was his own fault
As naber he neber borrowed coffee an
sugar wdout maxim mark on de tin cup
so lie could return good measure.
AS member OBJ de community in which
he dwelt he upheld de law in de daytime
an stole watermaylons under kiver of dark
ness, thereby settin' a good example fur de
young.
As church member he prayed soft an
low. an he was half line behind all de
rest in de singin'. In case he happened to
b. cotched wild ham belongin' to some
body else no refeckshuns could be cast on
de church
AS a husband he bossed de cabin, an as
a father he brung his chillun up to fear de
law an respect ole aige.
We shall hang de usual emblem of
mournin' on de outer doah, an we shall
feel bit sorry that fair to medium man
has passed away Dat will be all. We
shan't pass no resolushuns to send to his
wife, who know'd him better dan anybody
else, nor will we claim dat our heartfelt
sympathies go out fur de chillen, who am
probably no better dan anybodys else's.
1t am nuff fur us dat we kin say Augustus
was up to de average, an dat death could
have tooken a wusser man an not half
tried"
